Kaplan Qbank USMLE



Author6 Posts
  #1

I'm planning to take step 1 in a month or so. I've gone through first aid pretty thoroughly, and I've done ten or so sets of 50 questions from NMS board review (6th ed). I've scored about 70% in all, ranging from 52% to 80%.

What I plan to do next is finish the next 300 questions in the book, correct my mistakes and identify my weaknesses. Then I will go through those topics somewhat more indepth for a couple of days, do some more first aid to consolidate, and then I will hopefully have a week, ten days or so for Kaplan Qbank (which I haven't registered for yet).

I am doing research on the side, so this isn't really full-time studying.

Anyone have any input/suggestions regarding this schedule?

Thanks in advance!

No takers, so I'll update it myself. :-) I scored exactly 70% on the 850 questions, which tells me I'm on the right track. The problem is, I'm scoring about 50% on biochem and microbiology, and I feel that there's definitely room for improvement there.

Can anyone recommend any decent resources for anyone who needs a crash course in biochem/micro?

Thanks in advance...
